Shanghai International Circuit, where he played the Grand Prix of China, is a path of art made especially for Formula 1, was designed by German architect Hermann Tilke.
is located on a swamp, so that the foundations of polystyrene track have a depth of 48 meters.
How is the Chinese symbol 'Shang' which means 'Ascender' and uses references to local traditions like the colors red and gold, symbolizing the power and luck. The boxes are located within a lake and stands have a capacity for 200,000 people.
is a very twisty track, with a majority of slow corners, although a short section of high speed. There are three straight sections that may offer opportunities for overtaking, the first corner is very tight, which will make the start of the race is interesting, and demanding a curve to the right ending with a big G-force load
have an equal number of turns both right and left, a good mix of different types of turns, from the difficult rapids sectors forks and some very long straights. The longest is nearly a mile is between curves 13 and 14, at the end of the lap.
To cope you need a high downforce and fitness by the pilot because of the long curves. A peculiarity of the path is the length of the curves, especially the first in which the pilots will experience over 2G for nearly four seconds.
Regarding the characteristics of the curves and braking, the circuit is quite similar to the Nurburgring, but with a very long straight, so it will be a challenge for the engines.
Shanghai requires a high level of mechanical grip for the tires because the long straights and fast corners the tires produce a high heat to be taken into account.
is expected to very hot and could reach 30 degrees ambient temperature up to 50 track. The track surface is fairly smooth and not abrasive.
Shanghai International Circuit is unique in that its curves are designed in a very technical and makes a mistake there is nothing complicated. Another important factor to consider is the weather, we can not exclude that the rain cell might make an appearance. The
layout features vary as one goes back. The first part is full of slow corners, which follow the pit straight until you reach the fork around 6.
then enters a much more demanding sector, with three left turns, right, left to take down the speed gradually. This area largely conditions the total time per lap.
The pilots will have to find a good line in that sector. After this sequence of curves, a short straight leads into a tight left hand turn that leads to a long right-hander that leads us into the last sector of the lap. That turn leads to the main straight circuit, which is over a kilometer in length and will be important to start well above the curve, since the end of line is a cradle where it is possible to attempt to overtake.
This slow turn leads to another line, which follows a curve of medium-low speed left and leading to the second line of the path where the back ends.
The circuit has a length of 5,451 km., Is scheduled for 56 laps with what your distance is 305,256 kilometers.
Rubens Barrichello in 2004 he won the first pole at the Shanghai circuit, while team-mate Schumacher had a spin on his lap and was forced to exit from the last row of the grid. Barrichello finally said the victory ahead of Jenson Button and Kimi Raikkonen, but the big news of the race was on 12 th place of Michael Schumacher, who for the fifth time in his career finished outside the points after stringing several errors. Scenario
the last race of the 2005 season, the second Grand Prix of China was used by Fernando Alonso won its seventh win of the year for Renault add its first constructors' world championship. The second place went to Kimi Raikkonen, who was finally able to overtake the Renault of Giancarlo Fisichella. Juan Pablo Montoya
opted for much of the race to the podium and rolled in front of your partner Raikkonen when it inexplicably crashed into a drain cover had become detached. The impact of this element was sufficient for the Colombian had to withdraw. A last minute penalty for Fisichella Ralf was made possible with the third step of the podium.
And after the first two editions of the GP of China were quite boring, the race of 2006 was undoubtedly one of the best of the season thanks to the intense ongoing struggle for the championship Fernando Alonso and Michael Schumacher.
After starting from sixth on the grid and on a wet track, Schumacher seemed to have everything against them, because its Bridgestone tires were clearly inferior to Michelin's qualifying session that was also played in the rain.
Alonso, who started from pole, was the clear favorite. The English driver led all 30 laps of the race but decided not to change their intermediates and that caused his performance into a freefall. Schumacher, who had gone wrong in the first round, started to come back and clinched victory with three seconds ahead of Alonso and Fisichella, second and third respectively. Last
